Bustiers & Corsets

Bustiers are often shorter, extending just below the bust, and typically feature a fitted, structured design that provides lift and shaping to the upper body. They often come with built-in cups or underwire, and they may include lace, embellishments, or a variety of fabric choices. Bustiers are usually worn as part of lingerie or as a fashion piece.

Corsets, on the other hand, are usually longer and extend from just below the bust to the hips or even the waist. They feature a rigid structure, often reinforced with boning, and are designed to shape the waist and support the torso. Corsets are typically laced up the back or front and can be worn as a foundation garment under clothing or as a visible fashion statement.

Both pieces are popular for their ability to create a flattering silhouette and enhance body shape, though their use and styling have evolved over time.
